Generalized Section of the Carboniferous 
of Kansas from the Mississippian Below to 
and Including the Red Beds Above. This 
section is a summary of the classification of 
the Kansas Coal Measures and Permian 
adopted by the University Geological Survey 
of Kansas. It represents graphically the 
séquence and relative thickness of the va- 
rious stages and formations, and corre- 
sponds to the verbal descriptions of the 
same given in this volume. It may be added 
that the rocks comprising the Pottawatomie 
stage are much thicker at the south side of 
the state than at Kansas City, as shown.
